The `-betterC` flag just removes the D runtime . Being able to 
avoid the GC is something you can do with or without it. So keep 
that in mind if you decide to actually use it. It's like going to 
Zig or Odin and removing their standard libraries.

The normal way to avoid the GC in D is to use things like the 
`@nogc nothrow` attributes or the `-vgc` flag. The first is more 
strict and the second depends on you checking.

Check some projects that do avoid the GC. NuMem, NuLib, Joka, ...
